Hi, Reshma, what's your gripe here, girl?

All right, well, a couple of weeks ago, my older sister got married. And we're Indian, so it was a traditional Hindi wedding. And I love our weddings. They're beautiful, colorful. Our clothes and culture are really bright. It lasts a few days. So the day of the wedding... The wedding lasts for a couple of days? The wedding, well, the ceremony, like there's traditional things, so it's about six to seven days.

Wow.

The first ceremony was on Sunday and the reception was on Saturday.

That's something in itself right there.

Really?

Joanna's sitting there going, really?

I will make mine two weeks.

Seven days from the initial wedding to the last day in an Indian culture.

I mean, the wedding's last seven days.

You can do it in three, but it's at least three days.

Well, it's one village has to march all the way to the other village with all their cattle.

Then they traded for the bride.

And then they march all the way back.

That's exactly how it happens.

But there's certain traditions that really peeve me. One of the traditions is traditionally, or back in the day, way back in the day in India, when a girl gets married, she's given to her husband's family. So she leaves her own family and joins her husband's family. So when that happens, she has to say goodbye to all of her family, and it generally happened right after the wedding. So there's a ceremony where she goes up to each person and her family and says goodbye. And of course, they're saying goodbye to their daughter or their sister, whoever, so everyone's crying. So, oh my God, I'm going to tear up now. You're tearing up now talking about tearing out? It gets on a nervous place. It still affects her. But it still affects me. I'm such a baby that this still affects me. So they say goodbye to her and the groom's family takes the bride away to their village was what used to happen. But it's become a part of the Indian culture. So now we still do it, even if she's moving five minutes down the street. So at my sister's wedding, yeah, at my sister's wedding, I mean, it was a fantastic wedding. I was there for two weeks, and we were never really close, but over the past year, we've gotten really close. And she got had all the ceremonies, and the wedding happened. The wedding happened, and everything was fine. And we're all sitting there, and we always joke about it, like, oh, I hate this part. I hate this part. I hate this part. And I knew I was going to cry a little bit because I cried everything. Even telling a story about crying. But we're all like getting up and have a huge family. So everyone's getting up and walking over. And I'm kind of like standing in the back thinking I can like postpone the crying if I stay in the back. And I see my younger sister walk by. And I have seen her cry once in my life. She is bawling and I start crying too. So we're going through. We go up to my sister and her and my little sister and I were sitting there huddled together for an hour straight. An hour. I could not.

How far is she moving from you? Seriously? She lives in California. She's moving 10 minutes down the street. I kid you not. And I could not stop crying. Like we're sitting there for 20 minutes and every one of my aunts or cousins would come up to us and be like, oh, it'll be okay. She's only moving. and every time they said something, we want to cry more.

And I hate the fact.

Like, why do we have to cry?

She's living 10 minutes away.

Let's skip. up to us and be like, oh, it'll be okay. She's only moving. And every time they said something, we want to cry more. And I hate the fact. Like, why do we have to cry? She's moving 10 minutes
